Chapter 9:
Bailey's POV:
I've been miserable without John. He's all I can think about. My father thinks I shouldn't marry him or even seen him, but I need to. I just need to. I want to marry him. I know he won't leave me and he will make it and come home to me. To our new life.
I get up from my bed and I quickly go downstairs, not wanting to spend any more time away from John.
"Where are you going, Bailey?" I hear my father ask me as I get my jacket.
"To see John." I reply, not caring his reaction.
"No, Bailey. I told you, I don't want you seeing him anymore." My father says, standing up from his chair.
"Dad, it's my decision. I'm 23. I can my make own choice now. And I know this choice is right." I reply, walking out.
I just need to see him. He's my only motive of actually going through this life. I walk across the driveway to his house and I knock quickly. His mother opens the door.
"Hello, Bailey, how can I help you?" John's mother asks me.
"Hey, is John here?" I ask anxiously, looking inside the house from outside.
"Uh no, sweetie. He's at the military base. He's getting ready to go back next week." She replies and I sigh.
Shit. I say in my head. I need him here. Not there. I need to speak to him.
"Oh, um, do you know when he will be back?" I ask, now I really want to talk to him.
"Maybe in an hour or two. I'm not sure." She replies.
"You can wait here if you like." She adds and I grin.
"Thank you." I thank her politely and she lets me in. I sit on the couch, thinking of what to say when John gets here.
John's POV:
"Yeah, where will I be going this time?" I ask the recruiter
"They want you in the Navy Seals this time, not on the fields." He says.
"What? Why in a fucking boat? I do better in the fields." I reply. I want to stay with my men.
"All of your team is going to the Navy. They are being transferred as well." He says. I sigh, trying to calm my frustration. Why would they transfer my team and I to the Navy? I thought we were going to stay on ground, in the field to fight, to protect our country. Not be in the water, barely fighting, just shooting cannons and carrying around missiles and other shit that I don't want to do.
"Tell them no. My team and I aren't transferring." I say sternly. If I fight for my country, I will fight to stay in my position.
"Sir, I can't do that-" I cut him off.
"Tell them or else my team and I leave the military. They wouldn't want that to happen since we are the best there is right now, would they?" I ask and he nods.
"I'll tell them. Your team will be fighting in Japan" He replies and I nod.
"Thank you." I say and he forces a grin and I walk out of the base. They will never be able to transfer my team and me to the fucking Navy. I don't want to be there.
Bailey's POV:
I sigh deeply again. My stomach keeps turning into knots from being so nervous. I don't understand why I'm this nervous, but I know it's bothering me. I heard a car door close from outside and I hold my breath. He's home. Now, so many thoughts are running through my mind. What will he think of me being here, in his house? Will he yell at me to leave? Will he let me explain and stay? Will he still want to marry me?
I stand as I hear the door open and I look up at John who is staring straight at me.
"Bailey..?" I hear John say and I swallow the lump in my throat. Now I regret coming here, but I must do what I need to do.
"John..." I say and I move around the small coffee table in my way and I walk straight up to him, staring at his baby blue eyes that seem so familiar to me now. I swallow roughly, my stomach flipping around now from being nervous. I open my mouth, but nothing comes out. Instead my slightly opened mouth is covered by John's. I close my eyes as he wraps his arms around my waist and I kiss him back, letting my hands rest on his chest.
I pull away after a few more moments and I look at John.
"I really hope you came by here to talk." John says, staring down at me. I nod and he leads me over to the couch. After about two or three minutes of silence, I finally speak.
"I'm sorry I told you to leave that day." I say apologetically. I really was sorry and I hope he knows it.
"It's fine, I mean, I was upset and furious…with myself. I should have told you Bailey. I should have told you the first time we talked. I shouldn't have kept it a secret and you end up finding out from your dad." John replies, I shake my head.
"But I overreacted, John. It's not your fault. I should have taken at least a minute or two to think before I acted, but I didn't. I just…I just didn't like how you are in the military and how you are only staying here for six weeks. You only have a week left-" I'm cut off by John.
"That's why I wanted to get married to you. I honestly do love you with everything I have. I just want to marry you because I only want you. I don't want anyone else." John says and I can't help, but grin at his statement.
"I only want you too, John." I reply, taking his bigger hand into mine and I smile widely. John kisses me softly and gently for a few moments and I pull away, staying close to him not daring to move at all.
"I love you, Bailey." John says, holding me close to him.
"I love you too, John." I reply with a smile on my face.
"You still want to continue planning the wedding?" He asks me and I look up at him.
"Of course, I do. I want to marry you before you leave." I reply.
"You know I'm staying there for five more years." John says and I frown slightly at that. I don't want him gone for that long.
"But after that I'm retiring from the military." John adds in and I look in his eyes; hopefully.
"Really?" I ask him and he nods with a grin.
"Yeah, if I plan on getting married to you, I'm not going to stay away from you forever." John says and I smile, planting a kiss on his lips.
"Good, I don't want to stay away from you either." I reply and John pulls me into a deep kiss. I already know where this was going and I really hope it won't cause a lot of commotion since it's late. John lifts me and carries me up to his room, where twenty minutes later we are making love to each other. I can honestly say that this man is my one and only. I just couldn't wait until our wedding.
